Voce Spettacolo at The Oscars® Night in London

The 90th edition of the Academy Awards, very well known to all as the “Oscars” was held on Sunday 4th March.

Voce Spettacolo attended the official event in London, held at the Ham Yard Hotel.

The AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences) hosts every year all its members, insiders and all those working in the industry, at parallel events held in New York and London. The Oscars 2018 event was carried out and presented also this year by Jimmy Kimmel and broadcast live by the ABC Television Network from 6.30 pm in Hollywood.

The spotlight was turned on in London from 10.30 pm, with all guests coming mostly from all over Europe and attending the most important event of the Cinema industry worldwide.

The welcoming venue, enriched with an impeccable service of the Ham Yard, was full of distinguished and glamorous guests, who were able to follow the event in dedicated lounges, provided with many Tv screens and also in the main screening room.

Well-deserved success for Guillermo Del Toro who’s won best Director and best Motion Picture prizes for “The Shape of Water”. In his acceptance speech, Del Toro said: “I am an immigrant … The best thing our industry does is to help erase the lines in the sand when the world tries to make them deeper.” The movie was also awarded best Achievement in Music written for Motion Picture and Best achievement in Production Design. “Dunkirk” of Christopher Nolan was awarded three technical Oscar prizes, best Sound Editing, best Sound Mixing and best Editing. Best Cinematography and best Visual Effects go to Blade Runner 2049. There’s also a little bit of Italy with “Call Me By Your Name” of Luca Guadagnino, that was awarded the best Adapted Screenplay by James Ivory.

The 90th edition was riddled with cult film clips but also much attention was given to the feminine world and politics, given the recent Hollywood sexual harassment scandal. Most likely because of this, the event this year recorded its lowest ever Us Tv audience. Even President Trump thunders in one of his Tweets “We don’t have Stars anymore”.

Despite the regrettable and unpleasant circumstance of which the Us Cinema was victim, the Oscars Awards remain the most awaited event of the industry worldwide; where the hearts of all spectators beat for the charm, glamour and seduction of the Hollywood Stars, for the well-crafted movies which become a true catalyst for the audience. In those few hours it’s decided who will be part of the history within the Cinema masterpiece, that keeps inspiring millions of people. It’s an endless fairy tale that repeats and strengthens itself every time.

Voce Spettacolo would like to warmly thank Carola Ash, Director of Europe at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for allowing us to witness the special event and contribute with our presence.
